Abstract
The development of a small scale beam centrifuge for educational instruction is described. The centrifuge is 1.0 m in diameter and is capable of rotating a 20 kg payload measuring 160 mm x 125 mm x 80 mm at 100 g. The centrifuge is equipped with a 4-way electrical slip ring, dual port hydraulic rotating fluid union, onboard PC and data acquisition, digital camera and real-time wireless data communication/transfer. A pneumatic actuator has been developed for in-flight loading which can deliver a force of up to 2 kN. Details of validation tests and the learning module are also described.
